Ok yesterday i did leakdown test on my 94 gs-r with 106,000 mi, and my co-worker's 97 DX with 20,000. The DX on a cold motor showed 2% on 3 cyls and 3% on #3 cyl. Pretty damn good. I was just hoping to get around 10% or so with the gs-r. I saw 3% on 3 cylinders and 4% on number three. I was amazed. My motor does not use oil or anything, but 3-4% on a 100,000 mile motor is pretty damn good. This week I will see how the compression looks. The motor seems good to go for turbo.

 

Wow thats pretty cool that you car doesnt use any oil.

 

You funny guy. LOL

how can you performe a leakdown test by yourself? whats needed and what are the steps?

 

Just go out and buy a leakdown tester. They come with instructions. Be sure you buy a decent one. Got mine from the snap on guy. Yeah its overpirced but I can be sure it is accurate and is warrantied. The test is fairly simple but two people will make it a lot easier.

 

Wow, thats damn good! I wonder what mine is like.

 

what is considered a reading for a 94 b18c? or does it matter? whats a bad number?

 

3-4% is good. I think mine was in the 3% or less which is pretty good. If you have a 20% or higher that's not good.
